Gnomes, witches, and podcasters clash for the future of the village of Lychford in this delightful conclusion to the Witches of Lychford series. An unlikely group of supernatural creatures terrorizes the sleepy village of Lychford. Ok, they're gnomes. That's not a spoiler: you worked it out it from the title. When an ancient prophecy clashes with an unfortunate modern design aesthetic, the people of Lychford must band together to put out fires (both literal and metaphorical) to save their town before the king of the Gnomes (King Greg, and it's dangerous to laugh at a gnome) calls in the terms of an old promise. Trouble is: no one knows what the promise is, nor how to fulfil it. It's going to be a long night.

"An elegant, elegiac examination of identity, fictionality, God and humanity itself"--Tamsyn MuirA multilayered, locked-room science fiction novella from Paul Cornell in which five digital beings unravel their existences to discover the truth of their humanity. "The crew of the Rosebud are, currently, and by force of law, a balloon, a goth with a swagger stick, some sort of science aristocrat possibly, a ball of hands, and a swarm of insects." When five sentient digital beings--condemned for over three hundred years to crew the small survey ship by the all-powerful Company--encounter a mysterious black sphere, their course of action is clear: obtain the object, inform the Company, earn lots of praise. But the ship malfunctions, and the crew has no choice but to approach the sphere and survey it themselves. They have no idea that this object--and the transcendent truth hidden within--will change the fate of all existence, the Company, and themselves.

"Really looking forward to it." - Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Good Omens, Coraline, The Graveyard Book, and more) Named one of "The Best Comic Books and Graphic Novels of 2021"- Thrillist "Like many of the best horror stories, I Walk With Monsters forces us to ask what it really means to be a monster, and whether it's ever possible to escape from the realm of the monstrous. Equal parts character study and gory thrillride, this comic left me both disturbed and desperately eager to see where the story goes next." -- Charlie Jane Anders (All The Birds in the Sky; Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Lambda Literary Awards) 'Tender and terrifying, deeply horrible and deeply human, 'I Walk With Monsters' is Cornell at his finest- and his finest is very dark indeed. Which is surprising, because he seems like such a nice man.' -- Louise Penny Award-winning author (Armand Gamache murder mystery series), State of Terror (with Hillary Rodham Clinton), columnist, journalist, and screenwriter
